DLS (Dynamic Label Segment): This is a scrolling message giving real-time information - song titles, news headlines, etc. PROGRAMME TYPE: This describes the style of the programme being broadcast. BIT RATE: DAB allows broadcasters to vary the BIT RATE (or the amount by which an audio signal can be compressed) depending on the type of broadcast. This enables the amount of stations on a multiplex to be maximised. Speech and News are often broadcast at a lower Bit Rate; music needs a higher Bit Rate for good fidelity. MULTIPLEX NUMBER/FREQ: This option will display the multiplex number and frequency that contains the station you are listening to. MULTIPLEX NAME: DAB Digital radio stations are broadcast in multiplexes. Each multiplex is a bundle of radio stations transmitted in a single frequency. There are national and local multiplexes; local ones contain stations specific to your area. This option displays the name of the multiplex name that contains the station you are listening to. SIGNAL STRENGTH: This setting will display a signal strength bargraph. The longer the bargraph, the stronger the signal. Setting the display to show signal strength is useful when setting up the aerial for the strongest signal. TIME AND DATE: Time and date are updated by broadcasted information.
